Abstract

A microcomputer is used to control a dual-channel, sine-wave generator as the excitation to both the left and right ears in experimental subjects, and for on-line measurement of the neuronal spike counts. The effects of varying the walking pattern and phase angle between the two channels can be investigated. After normalisation of spike counts, the result can be displayed as a 3-D plot on a CRT or an x-y plotter. The system is useful for general steady state and transient binaural measurement.

In-shoe biaxial shear force measurement: the Kent shear system.

The Kent shear system is introduced and preliminary clinical results are presented. A technique utilising copolymer piezoelectric film has allowed the manufacture of biaxial in-shoe transducers capable of simultaneously measuring two orthogonal shear forces. Bipedal measurements are carried out inside everyday footwear over multiple footsteps.

Descriptive multidimensional statistical methods for analysing signals in a multifactorial biomedical database.

A methodology is presented to analyse multidimensional signals from several recording periods resulting from an experimental study on human or other living systems. The methodology is divided into two stages: intra-period analysis and inter-period analysis. The purpose of the first stage is to highlight general trends in multidimensional signal changes and the more informative components of the signals. The purpose of the second stage is to assess the influence of environmental or individual difference factors on a given signal component that appears to be discriminant in the first stage. To take into account the multivariable state of the system and the multi-observational aspect, a multidimensional descriptive statistical approach is used. The methods are correspondence analysis and hierarchical clustering. They are illustrated through an occupational medicine application from a study of sedentary posture.
